Harrison finally pulled the cat off, and held it out by the scruff of its neck. He was trying to keep the pointy end away from his trousers. Which made him 1 for 99.
Julie was a force of nature.
The tone Clarice was using wasn't the do you maybe want to go rest from earlier.
"Uh, sure. Okay. Candace, I think we oughta-" he backed towards the door.
Oh, come on, it was just starting to get interesting. B0nez whined.
About as interesting as getting smashed into the kitchen tiles at three in the morning. They were already pretty well decorated, he wasn't planning on adding to it. Harrison left the kitchen.

At any other time, Jordan would have said something about shooting at the minipets; however, it was stupidly early, he was tired, frustrated, and undercaffeinated, and there was some kind of gross, bloody stuff still all over his shirt and coat, courtesy of one of those minipets. He skidded to a halt and caught his breath. Stupid, stupid dog creatures.
Foxfires aren't exactly known for their immense intellect, Ferros said dryly.
"I feel like an idiot," Jordan grumbled. Then he added, "If you agree with me on that I'm going to start thinking about the song that never ends."
Bringing out the heavy artillery?
Jordan didn't dignify that with a response; instead, he eyed the minipets' erratic running pattern, and the next time one of the things got a bit closer, he lunged for it. Just like an actual dog, it jumped away, and he got nothing but a handful of grass. " ... Goddammit!"

Oh thank god Clarice arrived! But damn did she look pissed...
Candace stared at Clarice in shock. "But...o..okay." A look was given to Harrison as she slowly walked out of the kitchen. She really wanted to seeeeeeee! She never saw Clarice angry, the closest she had ever come to seeing that had been when Clarice had been feeling 'tense'. She wanted to see Clarice punish Julie for this crazy s**t she was doing.
This was another one of those times Candace was wondering just how Julie made it to be the moon leader's assistant. Was...was she sane compared to the leader? Was she the leader's way of balancing something out?
Ohgodwhy.

Jove followed the first foxfire and veered away from the Jordan-hunter's attempts to catch them. He wouldn't be caught off guard a second time, that one had clearly wrangled foxfires before. He couldn't let himself get caught until the other was grabbed as well!
Jack, if the other foxfire was caught, Jove would make all the stupid faces he needed to, and trot right along at their heels like a Human Pet until he could be sure the vibrant coloured fluff would be okay.
He let out a sharp bark, hoping the other foxfire would at least slow down!

Was the smaller one barking at the humans or at the bigger foxfire? The brightly colored one went skittering off at an angle, startled; now that he'd caught his breath again, Jordan sprinted to intercept it, stretching out to grab at the minipet's tail. Ordinarily he wouldn't try to catch by the tail, but he just needed the damn thing to slow down long enough to get a hand on its scruff. It pulled up short with a jolt and a yelp and twisted around to snap at him; he grabbed for the back of its neck, ignoring the needle-sharp little teeth that sunk into the flesh between his left thumb and forefinger. He'd sort of deserved that bite. " Gotcha." Prying the jaws of doom off proved to be difficult, but he wasn't letting go of this one again now that he had a firm hold on it. Jordan pressed awkwardly at the corners of the foxfire's jaw with his fingers and thumb; the pressure forced it t loosen its hold, and he pulled his hand back out of his mouth. "It's for your own good," he told it. Crap, he wasn't going to be able to catch the other one while keeping this one under control. "Gale," he called back to the blond hunter. "Catch it if you can. I'm getting this one into a tank; I'll bring a net back as soon as I can."

It was like trying to catch a shadow. The foxfire was running back and forth madly, and he'd already bitten Jordan. Gale reached a hand up, rubbing his face, and then glanced at Jordan. The other hunter had caught one already - the brightly colored one - which left just the pale blue one.
The one who had bitten him earlier. Gale glared at it.
"All right, you..."
And quick as a flash, he flung himself forward and launched himself onto the puppy like creature, pinning it to the ground.
"Gotcha!"

Jove skidded as the fruit foxfire veered yet again, and rolled right off his feet in the attempt to swerve alongside it. The comical tumbling only put a small dent in his speed, but it was enough. Next thing he knew, there was a large shadow looming over him.
And then all the air in his lungs was let out with a wheeze as he was pinned by the small hunter. The pup's first instinct was to lash out with his teeth yet again. To rip open skin and fabric and make the little hunter let go. But then what would happen to the dumb little foxfire? Wasn't this what he wanted, to get to wherever they were taking it?
The pup forced himself to relax, and keep playing a dumb dog. He even let himself whine piteously like he had been hurt, instead of just squished a little.

It was too bad while Jordan and Gale were tackling the Goliath that Julie and Clarice were, instead of assisting, having something of a personal showdown themselves.
Well, more like Clarice was attempting to talk some common sense into Julie, realized halfway it was something of a failing attempt yet again, and turned it into an angry lecture with her weapon. While Hraegar may have been more than happy to oblige smashing all of the things, and while the Moon Hunter might have been surprisingly adept at deflecting the blows, still managing to catch three mostly-melted cannon cats and add them to her bowl of concoctions, the state of the kitchen had transformed from really bad to I really don't think you should be here bad.
Julie suddenly stopped just as she deflected a fourth blow, putting her shield down for a second. "Oh," She stared up at Clarice with wide shocked eyes, though the Life Hunter assistant's response had not changed from being entirely exasperated, "I do think I forgot to turn off the oven."
There was a sort of ominous silence as everything, the noise, the cannon cats, any trainees still lingering in the kitchen all, for a brief second faded to white.
The explosion that happened in the kitchen could be seen from even the lighthouse outpost at Deus.
Needless to say, the two foxfire minipets being captured was the least of Deus Ex Machina's worries currently: in fact, all Jove had to do was literally run past the open gate towards the portal and out back towards Halloween. No, instead, all Hunters were pretty much fixated in running towards the source of the well, explosion. It could be an attack from Halloween after all.
And a week later, Julie and Clarice submitted oddly equally adamant mission report forms that yes, a dastardly and dangerous Halloween specimen had indeed escaped and attacked the kitchen and only the kitchen, and caused things to blow up, and minipets to be stolen, so on so forth. There might have also been a compensation request filed for one-hundred more cannon cats.
Unfortunately, the kitchen repairs were going to take a while. Looks like everyone on the island was going to have to live off canned food. END ORP - JOVE IS NOW BACK SAFE IN HALLOWEEN - ALL TRAINEES: they ran towards the noise but it is too late! Damn those Halloween creatures for attacking the kitchen!!!! - Everyone gets + 3 RP points for participating and another +1 if you hit over 800 words in all the rps related to this mission
